it is the obama administration is. there's a clear difference between the two. one is attempting to reach out. the other is attempting to be muscular and strong and what the rest of the world -- >> i apologize. i do not have a specific number of the foreign affairs budget in the neighborhood of fifty billion which is before we spend dod. i tend to agree with mike and martin that it is hard to read what the actual differences would be between the obama ann romney administration. the difference is more one of rhetoric than action. the talk might be different but the actions would be pretty similar because so much policy is dictated by domestic politics and the events happening in the world but as they unfold who would have thought it just a few months before we went in to libya and took on that -- who would have thought we redoing anything in a no-fly zone? who saw the arabs spring coming until was right upon us? so much depends on world events. i don't think a change in administration will affect it. >> when a candidate

in other words, did the obama administration pay ransom to bring them home? i think the american people and certainly the taxpayers have a right to know whether the obama administration used their hard-earned tax dollars to pay ransom to a rogue regime like iran's? ifif the administration finds ty violated international law there would be sanctions. we cannot abide by aggressions by thugs, tyrants and renegades. we need to hold tehran accountable in some way. since the president so far has refused to do that on his own, it's incumbent on do think lead on -- on congress to lead on this issue and my amendment is a good start. i'm hopeful my colleagues will support it so iran knows even if it doesn't have to answer to the president of the united states, it will have to answer to the american people through their elected representatives in congress. mr. president, i note the absence of a quorum. the presiding officer: the clerk will call the roll. quorum call: quorum call: mr. coats: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from indiana. mr. coats: mr. p

second, and not without controversy, president obama's administration deported a record five million undocumented immigrants, particularly violent felons. these were important steps. but we've learned that enforcement alone doesn't solve practical problems for people like dreamers and their families and their employers. moreover, deporting dreamers does nothing to make us safer. dreamers qualify for daca precisely because they haven't committed a serious crime. and putting them with criminals shows they are prone to criminality when the evidence shows the opposite is true. research from the conservative cato institute have concluded that immigrants tend to commit fewer crimes than people born in the united states. and u.s. census data shows that among adult males, immigrants are one-half to one-fifth as likely to be incarcerated here. just as insidious as this persistent myth that dreamers are somehow harming our economy or taking jobs from american citizens, we can and should debate what kind of immigration reform will best support our economy. but there is no credible support for t
